My Life in 8 Words

Author Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim?

Q. What’s your fantasy profession?

A. Err - author! Seriously. I have loved every minute of writing this book.

Q. How would you describe perfect happiness?

A. Being able to get what you want! But then I would say that, wouldn't I! Seriously, people are often unhappy because of something they can't control. I don't see any point in that. Perfect happiness is, I guess, accepting what you can't control - but learning how to make everything else work for you. Then you know you're making the most of everything. Oh - and an essential ingredient of perfect happiness HAS to be having a good laugh. It stops you taking things too seriously!

Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be?

A. A cat. They don't need any books to help them get what they want. They have the perfect life.

Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?

We were chatting to one of our business clients today - and he told us that over the past week, he's broken the following:

* His ipod

* The rear tail light of his car

* His favourite coffee mug

* The speed limit - and got caught.

Why? Is it just bad luck? Is he having a bad week? Are the gods against him? Has he broken any mirrors that he's not aware of? Did he put the wrong foot down first when he got out of bed last weekend?

Hi - this is my first post because I'm a new author with S&S. I've written You Need This Book (to get what you want) - along with my co-author and business partner, Mark Palmer. It comes out in January - and it's all about how you can get what you want in life, from yourself and from other people. It's full of techniques you can use for yourself so you can think differently, make better decisions - and persuade other people round to your way of thinking. I guess the big difference is that it's also light hearted in places, with funny stories, and doesn't take itself too seriously. I'm really looking forward to it coming out - I hope you...
